Sugar Tyme Crabapple

About this plant

The Sugar Tyme Crabapple (Malus x 'Sugar Tyme') is a true showstopper, boasting an exquisite display of pure white, fragrant blossoms in mid-spring that utterly blanket its branches. These prolific blooms give way to small, glossy, persistent red crabapples that remain attractive well into winter, providing both ornamental interest and a valuable food source for birds, adding life and movement to your winter landscape. Renowned for its exceptional disease resistance, including good immunity to apple scab, powdery mildew, and cedar apple rust, 'Sugar Tyme' is a low-maintenance choice for any garden. Its upright, spreading growth habit creates a graceful, broadly oval form, making it an excellent specimen tree or a beautiful addition to a mixed border. Ideal for residential landscapes, parks, and street plantings, the Sugar Tyme Crabapple provides multi-season interest, from its stunning spring flowers and summer foliage to its vibrant fall color and persistent winter fruit. It's a reliable and beautiful choice for adding a touch of classic elegance.

Care & maintenance

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Prefers full sun for best flowering and fruit production. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and to maintain desired shape. Fertilize annually in early spring with a balanced tree fertilizer.
